Automatically email me a PDF invoice

paddyfields — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:37:58 GMT

I have a small business account and I need to send all my VAT receipts to my accountancy software (Xero/Briefcase). Is there a way to have my bill automatically emailed as a PDF every month so I don't have to remember to log in and download it? Ideally I'd have it sent straight to the accountancy software, but if it was sent to me then I could easily forward it on. Many thanks.

EE are absolute rubbish at supplying VAT invoices. They say they can't! Is this because their accounts dept is still using an abacus? NO!! Don't be silly, it's because EE want you to pay more for a business account, which doesn't offer any better service. Please note:

They charge VAT for their services.
HMRC say they are obliged to supply VAT invoices if requested.
They are breaking the law by not supplying such invoices.

They are not on the side of their customers. They want to rip their customers off.

I think this is an appalling absence from the small business service. As a sole trader, even I manage to automate PDF invoices to clients each month. Each month I groan when I have to login at EE to download my bill to then add to bookkeeeping software. The website user experience is alwys 'clunky'. During the drawn out technical issues of 2025 I had to request a bill/file each month via email. It never strikes me as a slick operation at EE. Sort it out please.

Indeed downloading bill from the EE site is a punishment, nothing modern about it! Even if there were an API where we can get our bills, rather than wading through the treacle pond called the EE website.
